AOC - can she get any dumber

The issue with AOC -- is that her healthcare proposals (which are mere quips) are not reasonable nor are they aligned with the healthcare systems of other western nations.... but her statements and ideals are more aligned with what Venezuela does.

I have previously outlined my support for a public health system for the U.S. which includes a choice of either public or private coverage -- akin to what Germany does.

I live next to Venezuela and they have a market based health system. If the pharmacy has something you might be able to buy it. People dying for lack of money is the American system, unknown in all other developed nations.

AOC will make it Venezuela is like adults telling each other starving children in whatever country, when I was a kid the nun's had the boat children of Cambodia and the starving black babies of Ethiopia after that.

There are plenty of decent health systems in working countries.

Is Venezuela really socialist? Some two-thirds of the country's assets are privately held, probably more than Alaska. And the gini index shows they are a highly unequal country.

There really is no such thing as a socialist Cuba or Venezuela... they are dictatorships with a ruling class.... only ignorant people here thinks those countries are modelled after some fantasy of socialism.

Castro's gang took over and booted out all the wealthy landowners and merchants and took over their wealth and shared scraps with the people. Venezuela should be a wealthy oil producing country but the ruling elites run a dictatorship and keep all the money while regular people line up for groceries.

People should stop calling them socialist countries, they are dictatorships no different than North Korea or Russia. The people get what the rich leaders decide they get and the rest is pocketed.

Were they? I'm not arguing just I loathe giving the NYpost my click fraction of a cent. I would not trust how Murdock's NYpost characterises anything. They were the rag Trump went to with his naked wife pics.

No time, taking some on to a doctors apointment. I just have a feeling this is different to what it seems going on how NYPost shows up on searches, seems a pet of theirs.

I must say the culture of corporate socialism is troubling as there has to be a line where you say, actually this is not going to repay itself.

AOC and Democratic politicians want to impose new special taxes on the "rich" in New York.... the Wall Street crowd is having none of it.

NY Weighs A "Wall Street Tax." Wall Street Is Threatening To Flee
https://gothamist.com/news/ny-weighs-wall-street-tax-wall-street-threatening-flee

One of Cuomo's budget proposals includes higher income taxes on wealthy New Yorkers, an idea he had long dismissed. New York City has lost hundreds of thousands of jobs during the pandemic, and the economy may be years away from a full recovery. In response, state legislators have prepared a menu of new tax bills targeting the rich, including a billionaire's tax, and a tax on stock transfers.

"The hard truth is, New York needs the securities industry more than the securities industry needs New York. The city can't afford a tax that pushes it out of town,"

Oh no GWB. Well lets hope they enjoy moving their lifestyle to New Jersey.

New York Stock Exchange threatens move to N.J. in bid for new Wall Street digs Tactic to gain subsidies is common, decried as 'corporate welfare'

November 8, 1998.

Despite the millions of dollars in subsidies provided by New Jersey or New York, he said, there is no net gain for the region's economy. "The city is paying an unnecessary price in allowing itself to be shaken down by one tenant or another," Stern said. "Too many politicians know the price of everything, but not the value of New York City."
